I think this is using the gawk doc as evidence for a proposed change,
whereby the workaround cited above would not be necessary.
This sounds positive. If it happens, I can change the gawk doc.
I suspect that I may be the only one who's really stumbled across
this, anyway.
So I'm OK with this change, as long as someone tells me about it
once it happens. :-)
Thanks!
